Is Family Favourite Sweets Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Glycerol monostearate is an emulsifier whose fat may come from plants or animals, including pork; a plant or halal source is not stated on this UK label. A plant qualifier or vegetarian claim would settle it.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: the source need not be investigated when the label does not identify it, so it is allowed.
Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed and it should be avoided.
